SAP Acquires Pilot Software

I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but yet another vendor has done an acquisition to flesh out their BPM 2.0 capabilities. In this case it's SAP purchasing Pilot Software. Pilot Software has been around for many years and in many different forms. In its latest incarnation it was focused on operational performance management with the PilotWorks product set. Our 2007 BPM Pulse survey confirmed the growing importance of this area of performance management. SAP had previously announced its intention to use 'fill-in' acquisitions to supplement organic growth. I'm glad to see them focusing some attention on performance management. As a matter of fact, we have been seeing them more and more lately in the field competing for business performance management deals.
